There have been suggestions that fungus may be a causal factor, but I don't know how rigorous these studies are. Some are linked with 'alternative medicine' and whilst it would be foolish to dismiss it without looking, it makes it lose credibility. Google the link between cancer and fungus.

Black mold fungi can cause upper respiratory illnesses. There are anecdotal information that mold can lead to leukemia, but not lung cancer Your father's cancer had nothing to do with dampness. I'm sorry for your loss.

It's much more likely the smoking contributed to the lung cancer. Fungi can cause other illnesses but not generally cancers.
